I know it is probably not normal to show pictures (however discreet) of our downstairs loo but…..

These curtains which Madame made a few years ago do, I think, deserve a wider audience.

Because her family discard NOTHING she inherited some old linen sheets from the old home in Edenderry when her Aunt died and these have travelled along with us (of course.)

We created this loo, in the back of the office, when we converted Le Presbytere, but it had a large picture window directly across a narrow Ruelle from our neighbours.
Madame had the excellent notion of dying the linen pale green and using it as a curtain. Because they are so old and worn they are reduced to soft delicate transparency so serve perfectly to protect the (famous) Dwyer modesty while permitting maximum light.

It is so satisfying that probably about 100 years after they were first woven they are having a second career.
